hawkeye wheels
 
hi im looking at fitting some new wheels:thumb:
8x18 235/40 will these be a straight forward fit:wonder:
as dont want to go down the rolled archs root?

As long as you stick as close as possible to the factory offset you'll be fine. I have 8x18s with 235/40 tyres on Rotas with et48. No problems even with a 50mm drop:thumb:

Make sure you get the right wheel PDC, 235/40/18 is what I run on my MY06 STi SpecD.:thumb:

if its a WRX should the tyre be 225/40?

53 31 January 2010 09:18 PM

Yes but if you want to run an 8" rim and afford a bit more rim protection 235 is fine.

Yes, but the 235s fill the arches better:D

What offset are they?
my wheels are 18'' x 7.5 offset is 45
tyre is 225/40
there is only 2mm between tyre and arch
car is a 06 WRX
i would like to run 18'' x 7.5 but can't see them fitting
